A Novel Proposition,

A Western engineer proposes 10 81
phon Lake Tahoe. and use Its abundant
water for irrisating and manufacturing
purposes. Lake Tahoe Is q magnificent
sheet of the purest water ON the summit
of O small mountain IN Nevada. His
proposition IL TO carry an immense iron
pipe up the mountain side and into the
lake, the curved shorter end dipping
into the lake, aud the long end reach
ing 500 feet down into the valley below
on the principle of the siphon. The or
iginality of tbs idea consists In tho ap
pltcation of this principle on q grand
scale 10 an instrument already In oom
mon use on q small scale. In i,s
smaller forms it is frequsntly employed
for chemical wCrk in the laboratory,
and In manufacturing purposes, for
drawing off liquids from casks, and oc'
casionally IN engineering and 9th +
sciences. When once sst going the Ii.
quld will continue to tl)w through tht
slphon until the source from whence it
is drawn is,exbausted.
To start the siphon 1t is necessary to
exhaust the air FIRST of all from the
tube, which may be done by means OF
q sucking or blowing tube attached to
LILO lUuktI ouui of Wy poui'h az hHuAo !,
which would be water In th.s instance,
until the tube Is filed. TIE differen 60
In by drostat!c pressure would Mt Lake
Tahoe force powerful stream through
the tubs, to bs utilized for the purposes
to which we have alluded. The fall of
water from such graat height would
develop force OF many horse power, ,
which, after it's mechanical use, would
pass through irrigating channels into
the valley and give the necessary
moisture to an otherwise arid soil that
at present gro ws only SAGE brush. The
at tractivsness OF this plan lies In Its
simplicity. Whether as au engine erin z
fea. II presents any serious difficulty
for it will not work il the lifs exceeds "a
feet In height from the surface of the
lake-is for experts TO determine II IL
does not, the siphon would furnish q
perpetual fow OF water, the volume OF
which would only bs limited by the ca.
pacity of the tube, and once started into
